Lyrics

[Intro]
| G - | B7 - | C -    | D7 - |
| G - | B7 - | C -    | D7 - |
| C - | D7 - | G G/F# | Em - |
| C - | D7 - | G -    | -  - |

[Verse 1]
G                  B7
 Clocks and spoons,  empty rooms
C                   D
 It's raining out tonight
G              B7
 What a way to end a day
C                   D
 By turnin' out the light

[Chorus]
C              D7                    G
 Shoot the moon  right between the eyes
G/F# Em     C              D7               G
I'm  sending most of me to sunny countryside

[Interlude]
| G - | B7 - | C -    | D7 - |
| G - | B7 - | C -    | D7 - |
| C - | D7 - | G G/F# | Em - |
| C - | D7 - | G -    | -  - |

[Verse 2]
G               B7
 Runnin' through  sky of blue
C                D
 Rollin' in the sun
G          B7
 Every day has a way
C                  D
 Of overflowing one

[Chorus]
C              D7                    G
 Shoot the moon  right between the eyes
G/F# Em     C              D7               G
I'm  keeping most of me in sunny countryside

[Interlude]
| G - | B7 - | C -    | D7 - |
| G - | B7 - | C -    | D7 - |
| C - | D7 - | G G/F# | Em - |
| C - | D7 - | G -    | -  - |

[Verse 3]
G                 B7
 Don't know how I did that now
C                   D
 Wonder where it's gone
G                    B7
 Must have spent the way I went
C                D
 Waitin' for the dawn

[Chorus]
C              D7                    G
 Shoot the moon  right between the eyes
G/F# Em
I'm  screaming,
C                 D7                G
 "Take me back to sunny countryside"

[Outro]
C               D7                  G
 Shoot the moon right between the eyes
G/F# Em
I'm  screaming,
C                 D7                G
 "Take me back to sunny countryside"
                  B7
Clocks and spoons,  empty rooms
C                   G
 It's raining out tonight
